Ständehauspark

Ständehauspark is a green space in Düsseldorf featuring two connected ponds, Kaiserteich and Schwanenspiegel, with winding paths beneath tall trees. Various spots throughout the park offer views of the city skyline.

The site was originally a fortress but was transformed into parks and gardens after 1801 under landscape architect Maximilian Weyhe's direction. This redesign continues to shape how the space is organized today.

The park surrounds K21, housed in the former parliament building Ständehaus, which now presents contemporary art from Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. Visitors can encounter modern artworks while strolling among the trees, experiencing how nature and culture coexist in this space.

An illuminated running path of about 1.5 km (1 mi) circles through the park and is accessible throughout the day. Direct access is available from Graf-Adolf-Platz metro station.

In 2014, Storm Ela destroyed about 58 old trees, significantly changing the park's landscape. The replanting and renovation that followed give parts of the park a relatively young appearance today.
